Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Capítulo 899: Chapter 38: Spiritual Jade

Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue both have good family backgrounds, and combined with their own attractive and alluring appearances, naturally, they attract many admirers.

And the two in front of them are the suitors of Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue, respectively.

These two are also young masters from noble families. They quickly suppressed their gloomy expressions and wore a full smile.

“Oh, it’s you two, Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan!”

Qiao Tingyue slightly curled her lips.

“Why have you come to Wangxian Town?” The young man in white is called Liu Xianhuang, and he asked.

Qiao Tingyu replied, “Naturally, we’ve come out for some experience.”

Lin Feng could discern that the sisters Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue were not particularly fond of these two.

However, Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan seemed not to “notice,” still wearing full smiles.

Hai Wuyan glanced at Lin Feng and asked, “Who might this friend be?”

“This is Young Master Lin, Lin Feng.”

“This one is Liu Xianhuang, and this one is Hai Wuyan.”

…

Qiao Tingyu briefly introduced both parties.

Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan’s families are also noble families in Yuezhou.

The two met at a young noble gathering in Yuezhou three years ago, and Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan started pursuing the Qiao sisters, Qiao Tingyu, and Qiao Tingyue.

However, Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan do not have a good reputation.

Rumor has it that these two have peculiar hobbies.

They enjoy “two dragons playing with one phoenix” to seek thrills.

A life truly debauched.

Although this matter hasn’t been confirmed,

as the saying goes, “No wall is airtight.”

The Qiao sisters, Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue, naturally have heard of it. Therefore, they harbor no goodwill toward Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan.

It’s just that the Qiao family, the Liu family, and the Hai family are family friends, which is why they entertain these two.

Qiao Tingyue said, “Young Master Lin, shall we go inside for a look?”

Lin Feng nodded, and together with the Qiao sisters, Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue, they entered a stone workshop.

“Who is this kid? Lin Feng? Have you heard of him?” Liu Xianhuang asked with a gloomy face.

Hai Wuyan shook his head with an expression of disdain, “Who knows from which corner this kid popped out? Someone like him dares to covet the women we fancy; truly, he courts death.”

“Let’s go take a look.” Liu Xianhuang waved his hand.

Over a dozen people also entered the stone workshop.

…

The stones in the workshop were ordinary goods. Expecting exceptionally precious stones from a small place like Wangxian Town is naturally unrealistic.

Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue were quite curious as they looked at the stones displayed in the courtyard. Qiao Tingyue said, “Sister, have you found any stones you like? Should we pick a few pieces to cut open and see if there are any precious treasures?”

Qiao Tingyu pointed to a bluish stone and said, “I think this stone looks quite good, but I don’t know the price?”

A steward of the stone workshop said, “This stone is called Green Wind Stone, a top-grade stone material valued at five hundred thirty-two top-grade spiritual stones.”

Qiao Tingyu was shocked that a stone was priced so high, and even as an heir of an ancient family, the price made her gasp.

“Tingyu, if you want to choose stones, we can help. Brother Li Xinghe, the big disciple of Stone King Xuanyuan Long, will be here soon.”

Liu Xianhuang said with a smile.

At this moment, a commotion was heard outside.

Over a dozen cultivators escorted a cultivator wearing a star long robe walking in.

The cultivator appeared to be in his thirties, looking opulently attired, adorned in a robe of stars, a high-level treasure, and wearing cloud climbing boots, also a high-level treasure. The hair tie and longevity bracelet on his wrist, among other things, were all high-level treasures.

Wearing so many high-level treasures while swaggering around truly showcased one’s wealth.

Of course, the most precious was a jade pendant worn at the waist.

This jade pendant is called Spiritual Jade.

Wearing Spiritual Jade can double the wearer’s speed of cultivation; it is a supreme treasure.

And Li Xinghe is even more proud on his face.

“Oh my, it’s Li Xinghe, the senior disciple of Stone King Xuanyuan Long. His stone identification skill has learned three parts from Xuanyuan Long.”

Li Xinghe’s arrival instantly caused quite a stir.

This Stone King Xuanyuan Long is a renowned stone recognition king across over a dozen states nearby.

He has repeatedly cut out good things from stones, even cutting out divine bones recording ancient divine abilities.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Long’s fame is exceedingly high.

Countless patriarchs from the wealthy and influential clans sought Xuanyuan Long for stone identification.

As a disciple of Xuanyuan Long, Li Xinghe naturally garnered much attention.

“Brother Li, you’ve arrived.”

Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan went to greet him.

Li Xinghe nodded slightly.

After some conversation, a group of people walked over.

Liu Xianhuang smiled and said, “Brother Li, these two are the young ladies of the Qiao family in Yuezhou, Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue. They wish to cut a few stones and hope Brother Li could help select some excellent stones.”

Li Xinghe said lightly, “If it were others begging me, I wouldn’t help. However, your Liu family’s elder has some relationship with my master, so today I will give you some face.”

Liu Xianhuang immediately displayed an expression of being flattered and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Li Xinghe looked at the two ladies, Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue, and asked, “You want to cut stones?”

The two ladies, Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue, gave a slight bow, and Qiao Tingyu nodded.

Li Xinghe scanned the dozens of stones around, pointed to a stone with golden spots, “This stone is called Golden Spot Stone. If my guess is correct, such a stone forms from the deepest part of a gold mine.”

The steward of the stone workshop said, “Young Master Li has a keen eye. Indeed, this stone was mined from under a large gold mine.”

Li Xinghe revealed a trace of satisfaction. He then looked at Qiao Tingyu and said, “You may cut this Golden Spot Stone.”

Li Xinghe did not offer any explanation, standing with hands clasped behind him, presenting a profound and unfathomable appearance.

Qiao Tingyu asked, “What is the price of this stone?”

“One thousand five hundred top-grade spiritual stones.”

The stone workshop steward said.

Qiao Tingyu hesitated a bit, just about to agree to buy the stone.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, “Tingyu, I think this stone is better.”

Lin Feng reached out and pointed to a black stone with a half meter diameter. Its surface was uneven, its color was dim, and it generally had poor aesthetics.

“Kid, who are you? Do you dare question my choice of stones?” Li Xinghe’s expression suddenly darkened.

Liu Xianhuang and Hai Wuyan had long been extremely jealous because of Qiao Tingyu and Qiao Tingyue’s attention to Lin Feng.

At this moment, seeing Lin Feng suggesting Qiao Tingyu select another stone, they both sneered.

Liu Xianhuang said, “That kid is called Lin Feng, who knows how he wormed his way into the Qiao family’s graces.”

Hai Wuyan glanced lightly at Lin Feng, smirking insincerely and said, “Brother Lin, you should quickly apologize to Brother Li. Brother Li is generous and won’t blame you.”

Lin Feng said calmly, “Apologize? Why should I apologize? I merely suggested Tingyu choose the stone I fancy, and it seems I haven’t offended anyone, no?”

Li Xinghe’s expression slightly darkened, and he sneered, “The art of stone identification is profound; not everyone understands it.”

Lin Feng said calmly, “It seems this brother is quite knowledgeable about the art of stone identification?”

Li Xinghe said proudly, “My master is Stone King Xuanyuan Long. With such guidance, naturally, I have researched the art of stone identification extensively.”

“In that case, how about we make a bet?” Lin Feng said with a faint smile.

“Bet on what?” Li Xinghe squinted his eyes.

“Let’s bet on the value of the things cut from the stones each of us chooses. If you win, I will give you a holy medicine of fifty thousand years. If you lose, give me the Spiritual Jade you’re wearing at your waist.”

Lin Feng said calmly.

“You want my Spiritual Jade?” Li Xinghe’s expression slightly darkened, but then he thought, this Lin Feng is a character he hasn’t even heard of. What capability could he have?

Moreover, the attraction of a holy medicine is enormous.

Though Spiritual Jade is precious, it’s not as valuable as holy medicine.

Besides, Li Xinghe is immensely confident in himself.

“Kid, since you want to gift me a treasure, how could I refuse?”

Li Xinghe sneered inwardly, then nodded and said, “Fine, I will gamble with you.”
